Be your own admirer.
That’s the message behind Illamasqua’s I’m the One collection, a small but eye-catching release with just one lip pencil, a lipstick, one gloss and a nail polish — but man, oh, man, are they bold! And red. Two things I can really get behind. 🙂
Here are pics and swatches of three of the four pieces from the collection…
Oh, and for a bit of fun, from now through February 15 if you post a pic of yourself wearing red lipstick to your Facebook or Instagram using hashtag #ImTheOne to @Illamasqua, your selfie could get featured on illamasqua.com.
You’ll also qualify to win Illamasqua’s daily giveaways, where they’ll be giving away products from this very collection.
Snap that selfie, yo! (For tips and ideas, check out How to Take a Good Selfie.)
Look for the new I’m the One collection now at Bloomingdales and online at bloomingdales.com.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Gotta love a classic red lip. 🙂

February 13th, 2014 at 12:59 amLove the last picture Karen! I’ve tried Maneater and didn’t love it on myself, it leaned a bit orange and I prefer cooler reds. But it looks lovely on you!

February 13th, 2014 at 5:51 amI’m loving the lipstick. The gloss looks nice, but I think Maneater is perfect on its own.

February 13th, 2014 at 4:20 pm!!!! That is gorgeous.
The lip gloss looks like the PERFECT red. I might splurge. MIGHT. Just bought RiRi’s lip glass and it’s a nice subtle reddish pink.
Thanks for sharing the info. Might have to practice my red lip technique 🙂

February 16th, 2014 at 3:04 amHey Karen, what a beautiful red lipstick! Really interesting combo too, the purple/pink subtle smokey eye with warm red lips. It works and is stunning.
Love how your blog is so inspiring for different make up looks to try out. Especially for us ‘natural palette only’ type of girls with secret red lip obsessions.
